Bullwinklemoos saidOkay I know I talk so much shit about my home state, but the University of Minnesota has a fantastic program for electrical engineering, but there are two downsides to studying there:

1) It's hard as hell to get into the college2) Minnesota is cold as hell sometimes

University of Chicago has a great engineering school along with Rice in Texas. I believe University of Southern Cali is a good one - my dream school. I didn't apply cause the rents said it was too far away

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is excellent for engineering and their Sloan School of Management is good for business. You may be able to take classes at Harvard also. The Boston/Cambridge area is very popular with students. Only disadvantages in my opinion are the cold winters and bad drivers, but being from S. America, you might not mind the drivers. .

One of the top schools. Difficult to get in, but if your grades are excellent, you might consider it.

CrankyMcBadass saidUniversity of Michigan's Engineering School is one of the best.But before a foreign student can study there, they have to take an ESL course at the school and then spend a year at some other American university before Michigan will enroll them in the regular school.

Isn't Michigan Tech also a good one? It's in the middle of bumfuck nowhere (literally. I've driven from Minnesota to the UP and the gap between cities is as big as Texas.)

The US State Department has a network of offices all over the world to help international students choose a university for study in the US.

The staff will help you choose a school based on your interests, and they will answer questions about the application process. Some even have small funds to help students pay for the costs of taking tests, applying, etc., but I don't know if that's the case in Brazil. Most of their services are free. Some will charge a fee if you ask to have your transcripts translated into English.

You should check out US News and World Report at www.usnews/rankings and you can check for rankings and get a lot of info on all the schools. You can just compare your grades and check which schools have good value or good programs and try to narrow down the ones you could get into/afford
